Yes, I think that's how Akamai works. You have to have a valid URL to a file

Announcement aside, you might want to place a README.txt on the xensource site telling people where to go (that doesn't sound quite right, but I think you get my intent).

Odd that from my phone all the xensource links yield "File not found". Is that expected behavior?

Maybe add:
For some time now, we have in parallel made available downloads on Xen Project servers at https://downloads.xenproject.org
